Eeeeek! So fun! And this paper is hoard worthy, but I am trying my best to use my favorites too vs. saving them. LOL. But the rainbow–want to keep forever–ha! ❤I stamped everything and then used my Zig Clean Color markers to watercolor these cuties on Bristol paper. It turned out so fun, and my son is going to love finding it in his lunchbox Monday!

For my first card, I embraced the unicorn and all her rainbowness! 🙂 (<—- Yup, that’s a word. 😉 )

And of course, I had to add a googley eye, but take care not to cover up her eyelashes. 😉

For this next card, I took another route using the same die. Kim is always thinking, and made the unicorn’s alicorn separate, so you can create a horse, or a zebra, or whatever your crafty heart desires. ❤ that!!

I used Distress Inks for the background and made a sparkly little grass patch for this fun horse to stand on. The leaves are from the Wavy Wishes set. 🙂

I think this little Unicorn die will be used a lot around here, making birthday cards! 🙂

Good Monday Morning to you! I was up extra early today to squeeze in a full day before the eclipse! But the weather is calling for a cloudy day, so yikes!

Anywho, on with this fun card to give! ❤️

For this card, I used Neat & Tangled’s Schoolhouse, Good Vibes, and also the Geomentric Blooms stencil with Fossilized Amber Oxide Ink. There are a couple of things I learned and I’d do differently next time, but I never know what I’m doing until I do it. My cards are thought through as I go. I don’t know if that’s good or bad? Probably both. 😉 LOVE these little mice! I colored them with Copic markers. 🙂

I’m joining in the Little Tangles Challenge this month. I was excited to see the challenge was birthday, and thought I’d catch up on making a bunch of birthday cards. Well, so far I have the one here. LOL!! But there’s still time! So, we’ll see! 🙂

Check it out HERE! 🙂 And a BIG HAPPY 5TH Birthday to Neat & Tangled! How awesome and exciting is that!?

Just popping in with a quick post to share a card I made last night. We are planning to give this to the secretary at school because she defines kindness. ❤️

For this, I used the oh-so-perfect set from Concord and 9th: Kindhearted and the Kind die. I used this stencil that I’ve had forever from The Crafters Workshop. Perfect! I used Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide to blend it on the panel. I found this tiny heart in my *diecut leftover stash*, covered it in Glossy Accents, and added it to Chicago. 🙂 I finished the whole card off with a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins and some stitching!

I thought this turned out delightfully and we can’t wait to give it to her. ❤️
